I just came back from a two and a half week holiday in New Zealand with my boyfriend, John.

We were actually meant to go to Indonesia but when we arrived at the airport John’s passport was declined because it was 6 days under the 6 month validity. We called all the embassies and then started calling airports as well, trying to find a way to get on the plane but to no avail. So… New Zealand was the only place that only had a 3 month validity law so we bought plane tickets to leave that night! It was very spontaneous and completely different to what Indonesia would have been like, but we had an amazing time and were very happy we ended up in NZ.
